5596 PCE RIB | Poncho® 250

Hybrid Description

• New yield leader in this maturity especially on high fertility, ultra high yield fields

• Really good disease tolerance across a broad spectrum of diseases including Goss’s Wilt

• Impressive fall appearance with excellent staygreen and exceptional plant integrity

• Creates tremendous good ear flex with a girthy, high row count ear and deep kernels that add yield into the fall

Management Characteristics

• Performs best in high yield environments where moisture is typically not limited at kernel fill

• If irrigating, pay special attention to maintain sufficient moisture through blacklayer to finish kernels with higher test weight and to add yield

• Excellent standability characteristics make it a good choice for fields intended for late harvest

• Goss’s Wilt tolerance makes it well suited to be a reliable lead option under irrigated, high yield scenarios in Goss’s Wilt prone areas

• Moderate plant size with a notch lower ear height so be conscious of that characteristic in fields where ear height can be a concern
